Comment: Thank you for the beautiful ATC, I love the elements you chose. TH would be very proud for sure! Thank you too for the awesome assortment of electronic goodies, yes they screamed at me!! I can't wait to use them on a new project to decorate my craft room, weeeee!!

Response: I'm so glad you like the ATC and I knew you'd love the little electronic goodies. I hope to swap with you again. Thank you for the rating.

Response: I was very, very nervous about this swap as I had never done this type of swap. I'm glad you like my first 9 LP swapping. I wasn't sure how to decorate the pocket without covering up the Cards in the pockets so I left it blank. I'll have to google to see how other people have done it in the past especially without adding dimensions and causing the postage rate to go up. Thanks for coordinating this swap and thank you for the rating.

Comment: Hi Jan - your envelope arrived today. Unfortunately it was torn open and the Inspiration Cards were not inside :(( But the address labels and your note was in there. I am giving you a heart rating as I'm very sure that they were included - and probably beautiful !!!! I am so sorry that your envelope was tampered with. Have a great day and thank you for the much needed address labels xx

Response: OMG, I'm totally re-sending. I sent you a private message with photos of the ATC's I did make. I'll re-make and re-send. I thought I really, really taped up the envelope but I guess Customs was interested in what was inside the package and TOOK my goodies that you were supposed to get!

Comment: Great circus clown skinny with its classic image and fun embellishments. And thanks so much for the generous assortment of postage stamps. You're so thoughtful, and your swap in my mail box today made my day!

Response: I'm so happy you received the packaged and enjoyed the Circus Skinny. It was a little difficult for me to make as I started making one and threw it away because I wasn't happy with it and then I found the image of the clown and fell in love with it. I saw on your profile that you like used postage stamps so I just had to send you some. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Wow, great swap! Thank you so much for making the personalized labels, and for all the extras you sent! I love the nature themed prints cardstock too!

Response: Awesome! I'm so glad you like the address labels (I made more than you probably need) and the extra paper. I tried to pick out papers you would enjoy based off of your profile. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Oh my goodness!!! You may have just won the Best Swapper of the Year award and it's only February! First, I love the atcs, all the texture, the colors and the quotes! The bingo cards will be great for adding to my magpie journals and I needed atc back! The charms and embellishments are so nice! And, how did you know I love Burt's Bees' lip balm??! I have one in my purse, one in the car and one with my kitchen cabinet! Thank you so much for everything!

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed your package and the ATC's. I love sending items a swapper friend would love. Thank you for your kind words and for the rating. I hope to swap with you again soon.

Comment: I didn't think I had ordered anything and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a swap! Love the lace skinny, it arrived safe and in one piece. Very neat idea with the words added to it and the bottle. The extras I can use for sure! The price difference for Tim Hotlz stuff here vs. the U.S. is night and day, so I can't wait to use it. Thanks so much, after a bad week this made me smile so much, thank you. Extra hearts!

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the package and the ATC. I was nervous that you may have had to pay some additional postage. Please let me know if you did so I can reimburse you. This was a fun swap and I had so much fun putting your package together. I love to see my swap-partners "smile" when they receive my swap packages. Thank you for the rating!!!

Comment: I couldn't imagine who this package was from! What a lovely surprise to find out it was a green with an inchie ATC, and several other great giffts. I love your card and note too. Thank you so very much for everything. The ATC is perfect! I feel so blessed that you got my name in this swap.

Response: YEAH! I love seeing and hearing the reactions on the Swaps I send to people. It warms my heart when I see these types of reactions. I usually take a photo of my ATC so I can remember what I sent and I totally forgot on this one. Darn it. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed the package and I hope to swap with you again!

Comment: Can I give 10 stars? Wow! I was blown away not only by the fab metallic ATCs (love all the dangly bits) but also by the package that made me feel like a lottery winner. Thank you so much. I will do my best to put it all to good use (including the sewing patterns!).

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my ATC's and all the tidbits. I love reading through my swap partner's profile then send items they would love and use. This was a fun swap and enjoyed making the ATC's for you!

Comment: OMG, Jan!!! Thank you SO much for all the goodies & extra stamps :o)) I'm THRILLED with your package, you make swapping FUN!!! I hope by now you've received the flour sac and are pleased with it and the other items I sent. Please let me know!! {{BIG Hugs & Thanks}} ~~Karen :o))

Response: I'm so thrilled you love all the goodies. I had a blast preparing the package for you and know you would enjoy it. Thanks for swapping and rating.

Comment: OMG, I LOVE this ATC!!! It has got to be one of my favorites!!! Loved your mixed media!!! and I don't consider these EXTRAS! Holy crap this was like a late fricking Birthday Present!!! This made my whole week! Thank you so much!!!!

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my ATC and all the little items you can use for your next steampunk swap. It was a blast getting back into creating ATC as I've been away from swap-bot for about 2 years. I'm glad this was one of my first swaps. Thanks for swapping and the rating.

Comment: Thank you sooo sooo much for the great ATCs and all the goodies!! You were very generous. I would give you 5 hearts if I could!!

Response: I'm glad you like my ATC and the related items. I forgot to mention I noticed you were flaked on the Star ATC swap so I thought I would "Angel" the swap and make you one. I hope you enjoy that as well. Thanks for swapping and the rating.

Comment: Oh my goodness thank you sooooo much for everything! I love everything you sent! We definitely should swap again soon! <3 <3 <3

Response: I'm so glad you like everything. I had fun putting together this package for you and hoped that you would enjoy all the assorted goods. Let's swap again soon. Thanks for the rating and heart.

Comment: LOVE the tin and every tiny thing in it!! I've already picked out some itty bitty things for my dollhouse! Thank you for being a super swapper!!!

Response: So glad you like it. I had no idea you have a dollhouse. I'll have to look for some more miniature things for you to use. Thanks for being a great swap partner. Thanks for the rating as well.

Comment: You did a lot of work on this ATC, thanks! I hate to tell you but the wine glass broke during transit, darn it. I like the napkins!

Response: Thank you so much. I can't believe the little wine glass broke. Darn those USPS carriers for being so careless. I thought I had really bundled it up. Glad you like the ATC and the napkins. I'll have to look for another "miniature" wine glass and send it to you. Thank you for the rating and the heart.

Comment: Thank you for the cute ornament :o) I really liked how you used the roofs of the bird houses to spell out joy. And thank you so much for thinking of the girls! They were positively delighted with the mini lunch boxes and all of the tiny trinkets!

Response: Thank you for the rating. Glad the girls enjoyed their little packages and glad you like the ornament. Hope all is well and looking forward to more swapping opportunities with you and your girls.

Comment: Oh my stars and garters! :-) This swap was the most over-the-top, special, tremendous, thoughtful, generous, too good to be true swaps ever! THANK YOU! I thought this was for a profile surprise or a major swap but I couldn't think of one and then I read it was for my ATC swap for THA and I was floored! I adore the fountain pen I never had one before now, and the inks, the buttons, and other amazing items that I can't mention them all here, and of course the ATC itself is a treasure. I am so lucky and blessed to have partners like you. Bless you and have a great holiday season! Hugs, Sher.

Response: OH MY, I love it! I'm so thrilled that you are so thrilled. This was a very fun swap and I loved reading your profile and compiling all the items. I also had a blast making the ATC especially for you! Thank you for the rating and for being an awesome swapper.

Comment: As always, you go so far above and beyond the swap description! The postcard is just lovely, and thank you for the extra stamp and acrylic block! (I can always use those!) and I love the stamp of the two ladies! I may have to trade you for some images once my foot heals. blessings, Gypsy

Response: You are so sweet! Thank you for your kind, dear and sweet comments. I love giving to people that enjoy receiving. That makes my heart melt. I hope all is well and thank you so much for the rating.

Response: So glad you liked it. That was my first attempt at something like that and I hope it turned out well. It was a little on the "odd" side being on laminate wood board but I thought it was interesting. Thanks for the rating. I hope to swap with you again.

Comment: OMG! OMG! I Looooved this swap. It was so amazing, the matchbox was stunning and then all the goodies, actual things from my profile, things I will use and love, the wax seal, the sealing wax, buttons and so much more! Thanks for an awesome swap that made me smile real big! :-) See? Hugs, Sher.

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the swap. It was fun to put together for you. I went to a garage sale this weekend and they have 3 large wax seals sticks in the FREE pile. I snared them up so quickly. I love using them. I'm glad you enjoyed the matchbox as well. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Thank you for the ATC. What an interesting finish- have been staring at it trying to figure out what you used! LOL. (UTEE maybe?)

Response: Thank you for the rating. The finish is Diamond Glaze. I hope you like the Tim Holtz and assorted die cut pieces. I thought you would like the unique plastic die cuts. It will be interesting to see what you can create it with them. Thanks for coordinating this swap! I also thought you would like the wax paper sandwich bags I used to showcase your delivery. Thanks for swapping....

Comment: WOWEE!!! Thank you so much Jan for making such and incredible package for me!!! I think it's the best swap yet, lol... The Skinny card is really beautiful, I love all the different layers and embellishments. The bag of goodies is beyond words!!! I love everything!!! Thank you for making it so special!!!

Response: NICE!!! I'm so glad you like the skinny along with the bag of goodies. I had a fun time creating this for you . Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Oh my! If I could give you two extra hearts for this, I would. The box looks really awesome, and I loved all the stuff you added inside (especially the motherboard pieces because I don't have any tools to cut them myself). I almost feel like what I sent doesn't do this justice, but regardless, thanks! :)

Response: Yippie SKippie!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your altered box. This was so fun to create for you and I hope you can use the goodies inside. Thanks for swapping and thanks for the rating,

Comment: Well Jan, you've done it again! Awesome swap and beautifully packaged. I just love the ATC and the tiny plaque (the sentiment is very fitting for me). I absolutely love the tiny name plate, where did you get them? I adore the effect you've got covering the back of the ATC with pattern paper, it's so so nice. The pocket and charm are beautiful and the contents are lurvely. I drooled all over the vintage tickets! And the pins, you are now officially a part of my pin collection. The stamp pin is just awesome awesome awesome and I haven't got one anything like that. A couple of the vintage looking pins I am going to use in my art. You really are an awesome swap partner. x

Response: You make me smile! This was a fun swap and I'm glad I got you as a partner. You are a sweet, sweet person and an awesome, awesome swapper. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: WOW...is all I can say!!! After a terrible (with a capitol T) day at work, you certainly brought my smile back! Amazing, terrific and over-the-top in generosity!! Your artwork always inspires me to try different things and I am honestly a bit envious of your talent...lol! What's really amazing is that the colors and the pear image are exactly the same as a small painting I bought from a student artist and now I can display them together in a small vignette:) Thank you and a heart seem inadequate to express my gratitude, but want you to know you're an A+++++ swapper! {{hugs}}

Response: I'm soooooooooooo glad you liked my Altered Jar (Message in a Bottle). I thought you would like the uniqueness and I'm so glad it matches up with your painting. Thank you for the rating. Next time I'm in AZ I'd like to hook up with you for a luncheon or cup of coffee. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: What a beautiful package Jan! I absolutely LOVED the box with the measuring tape ribbon, it's vintage and I will of course be re-using it for some projects I have planned, along with the pattern paper, which I LOVE. The games pieces were wonderful and many, you really spoiled me and the envelope with watch parts, THANK YOU SOOOO much. And the main event, the inchies, well they are gorgeous, I really really love them, the emboss resist look is fantastic, they actually look wet. You'll have to share your technique with the group. I love the way in which you've used your embellishments. They'll be a fabulous addition to my inchie canvas. x

Response: Thank you for your kind message. It's a blast swapping with you. I love your art and when I grow up I want to be just like you!!!!! Thank you for the rating.

Comment: What an elaborate pocket! The details are so beautiful- especially the lovely dangling charms on the bottom. And that handle- whoa! The entire thing coordinates so beautifully. Thanks for the lovely goodies inside too!

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my Whimsy Pocket. This was an interesting swap and it was fun to create. Thanks for being a great swapper and thank you for the rating.

Comment: I loved the way that you placed the ribbons, laces and goodies in little bags it was so fun to open. I really appreciate the swap, I adore everything you sent and will have a fun time using up the pieces. Thank you for including such a variety too, I am very lucky!!! Thanks!!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the little mini bags filled with ribbons, laces and goodies. It's fun to send a swap and receive a sweet message and rating. Thank you!

Comment: Thank you so much for the fibers. I also love this art piece. Smiles.

Response: Thank you. These types of palette swaps always push my limits in my creativity. I thought I would add some fabric die cut butterflies to give it a little more detail. I thought you would enjoy the assortment of fibers. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: You definitely spoiled me with this wonderful package! So much variety of items that I will definitely use and be handy. I love the cake and coffee shakers and could never have too much mason jar haha. Thank you so much for a wonderful swap!

Response: NICE! I'm so glad you enjoyed your package. I fell in love with the mini mason jars and bought some for myself as well. I hope you can use the make-up. If not, you can re-gift. Also, I thought you would love the salt and pepper shakers...they are so darn cute. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: THANK YOU so much for the WoNdErFuL purse charm! I ABSOLUTELY love it.... so much that I have it hanging on the rear view mirror of my jeep! ~Hugs

Response: Sweet. I'm so glad that you like my tag. It was really fun to make this for you and I'm glad you were able to use the scrabble wooden tiles. I hope to swap with you again in the near future.

Response: YEAH! You finally received it. I'm so thankful. I'm so glad you enjoy it. Thank you so much for swapping. It sometimes gets a little tricky when sending stuff across the water and things get lost. Glad everything came out O.K. Thanks for swapping and I hope to do it again!!!

Comment: WOWSER!!! Gorgeous skinny! Also love the extra vintage buttons and tags you sent. How lucky am I to receive two awesome packages from you, Jan. Tons of hearts for you!!!

Response: Glad you like the Skinny. I had so much creating this for you. I love Skinny's as there is a little more room than an ATC to be creative. However, I love ATC's too. I hope to be your partner an upcoming swaps. Thanks!

Comment: What an incredibly beautiful pair! Thank you so very much. I also love the extra goodies you sent.

Comment: Thank you so much for the super unique cigar box. I like how you used real flowers and things to decopage with. Very cool. I can't believe how full it was. Every single thing you sent me is like I picked it out myself. Thanks so much for checking my profile out and sending me an amazing package. A million hearts to you! â™¥â™¥â™¥

Response: I'm so glad you like the cigar box and the goodies inside. I loved the cigar box and it was hard to alter over it so I tried to leave some "exposed" areas of the original box. I thought you would enjoy the use of "real" flowers and assorted branch twigs. This was a fun swap. Thank you!!!!

Comment: Jan! You outdid it again! What an awesome collection of treasures! I just love your charm and that wonderful little bottle! And you know me, I like my shoes ;-) Thank you so much! I feel like it's my birthday! -Julia-

Response: YEA!!! I thought you would enjoy the charm and the additional items. However, the focus was on the charm. I thought hard about this one and had to rethink a few things but I think I pulled it off. Thanks for all that you do on Swap-Bot to help make everyone's experience a "joy". Thanks for all that you do in coordinating such fabulous swaps and thank you for the rating.

Comment: it's always fab to get you as a partner. I love your chunky skinny card. The elements you used to create it are so interesting to look at, you also send such a thoughtful well put together package!

Response: Oh, that is so nice of you to comment as you did. Isn't this swapping thing a blast. I had fun creating this for you and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Let's continue on making swap-bot a success. Thank you for your kind words and rating.

Response: It was so fun to create this bingo card for you. I had so much fun. I love to try different things and stretch my imagination. I ready through your profile and thought you would enjoy the little extras. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Yoohoo! It's here...I love the keys, the awesome quote ATC,, my hubby said I look hot in your earrings and even the boxes are cute. Thank you so much!

We'll have to swap again in the near future. Thank you for the rating and heart. P.S. I forgot to tell you that I took the small boxes you gave me and had my structural engineers create a die line and cut out a whole bunch of the mini boxes. They are sooooooooo darn cute. Thank you.

Comment: Thank you - Thank you - Thank you for the great ATC and envelopes of goodies. They were a welcome surprise on a day when I needed a great pick me up. I love the presentation with all the hand stamped individual envelopes. You made my day! :)

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your package. Sometimes we all need a little "pick me up" and I'm glad I was the one you needed at the time you received the package. This was a fun swap and I hope to swap with you again. Thank you!

Comment: Love the jar and all the goodies inside! Thank you so very much Jan!

Response: I'm SOOOO glad you like your altered Somerset Whimsy jar filled with goodies. It was really hard for me to "let go" of this one as it is one of my favorite creations. I'm so glad you can enjoy it. I made the flower from scratch and added the middle gem for an added touch. Thank you so much.

Comment: BEST SURPRISE of the DAY!!!!
Thank You for all the x-tras!!!
I already know what I am doing with this JOURNAL!

Response: Thank you! I had so much fun creating this mini composition for you. I think I may be addicted. I love adding little goodies that are profile specific to each of my packages so I can envision the smile on people's face when they open the package. I just love that part of the swap. Thank you.

Comment: What a cute stocking! Love the colors and the buttons. You have such a good sense of design. Thanks so much. Have a great holiday!!

Response: Thank you! This was a very hard swap for me as I don't sew. After I read your profile I was so nervous because you are a big time sewer. I didn't know how to put in liner so I tried stuffing it but it looked awful. So I just sewed it closed. You can't use it as a stocking but you can use it for some sort of decoration. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: OMG, what an absolutely fantastic package. I love how you sent it in a cigar box ;). I love everything, the spool (of course) is absolutely gorgeous, I love the CD, the ATC, all the little tchotchkes, the fabric, everything. I wish I could give you a zillion hearts. Thank you again.

Response: Phew! I'm so glad you enjoyed your package. I had a blast reading and re-reading your profile and picking items you would enjoy. I also had so much fun creating the altered wooden spool for you. I tried to really think outside the box for this swap. It's hard to alter something so tiny. I'm so glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the rating and I hope to swap with you again!!!!

Comment: This was such an awesome box of gifts! I cannot get over all the wonderful things you packed in! Everything I love! Three beading mags were my fave! I love all the buttons, especially the big ones! I go through a lot of them! You outdid yourself! One million hearts and a Very Merry Christmas to you!

Response: Oh my! I'm so glad you enjoyed your package. I was a little nervous about what I should send you so I read and re-read and read and re-read your profile. I'm so glad you enjoyed your Christmas Present swap. Thank you so much for your kind words and the rating.

Response: Sweet. First of all, I'm so glad you like it and secondly, I'm glad you received it. I had many conversations with the mailman on how this should be mailed to your FPO box. Finally, we figured it out. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the rating.

Comment: Wow! What an amazing package! The cookie cutter is adorable - beautiful colors!! And all the lovely treats made me squeal with delight. You are too much, Jan! Thanks for this wonderful swap!!

Response: I'm so glad you like it. This was a FUN swap and I had a blast recreating it for you. I never knew you could do so much to a cookie cutter. I hope to swap with you again. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: I love what you did for this canvas couture collage swap. I even love how you tied it all together by wrapping it in a pattern. Then to top it off, there is music sheets for me to use. Yep, this went above & beyond. Great swap. Thank you so much.

Response: Sweet! I'm so glad you like it. I was a little nervous about the Couture Collage and thought I was a little off the mark. I tried several things first and they all failed. I thought to use a "real" barbie doll dress and add to it with buttons, rub on words, etc. Thank you for your nice comments and for the rating.

Comment: OH MY! I couldn't hardly get the box upstairs it was so heavy! and then I opened it! It took me about an hour to look through everything-what a WoNdErFuL package ! ! !
It made my day, my birthday weekend, my month- I absolutely LoVe everything you chose for me- a million thanks and hearts ;-)) ) )

Response: SWEET! I didn't know it was your birthday...I would have bought you a Birthday Present. I'm SO glad you enjoyed everything. I was a little nervous that you wouldn't some of the stuff. I read and re-read your profile and I sent items I thought you could use. I had so much fun putting this package together for you. Enjoy! Thank you for the rating and for being a great swapper!!!!

Comment: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this necklace and yarn! This is a wonderful swap! Thank you so much!

Response: Yeah, the package finally made it to you. Wow, that took almost 2 1/2 weeks. I'm so glad you like the necklace. I guess you would since it was one of your Etsy Favs. Thanks for swapping and for the rating.

Comment: Jan, your second package made it just fine. So, So, So COOL. Thanks you for such a neat magnet. On my frig already. And all the cool s-b stuff. And those darling manila mini-folder. Can't buy anything like all this here so you can be sure it is highly prized on my end. Hugs, Coleen

Response: I'm so glad the second package made it to you. I think that is the first time I lost a package on swap-bot. This was a fun swap and I'm glad you enjoyed the Steampunk Magnet. Thank you for the rating as well.

Response: I had SO much fun creating this special altered spoon for you. I feel in love with the orange fabric flower and knew it would be a great addition to this spoon. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: What an amazing package I got! You really went all out to make this an extra-special swap. I am in love with the altered bottle! It is absolutely beautiful. I also love all the extra vintage lace and trim. The packaging was very nicely done too. Love the pattern paper wrap. You are an awesome swapper & artist! â™¥â™¥â™¥

Comment: Wow!There are not enough words to tell you how wonderful the pocket you sent me is .I love it and the contents are wonderful also.I don't know which I love more.Thank you so much.

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the Up-cycled Wall Pocket. I have never done one of these and it was a little challenging and I'm so glad you like it. It was a very fun swap challenge. I'm also glad you enjoyed the goodies as I read through your profile and tried to send items you could use. Thank you for the rating.

Response: Phew! I'm glad you liked the altered comp book. I love using Tim Holtz items and I'm trying to learn more of his techniques. This was a fun swap and I hope you can use the goodies as well. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: oh these are just LOVELY! My fave is the one with the key & heart...such a piece of artwork! My youngest doggie loved the little dolly one...! She thinks all toys are HERS! haha! Don't worry, I rescued her before she could do any damage! I agree, they were NOT as "easy" as they seemed like they would be! but you did a GREAT job! Almost too pretty to USE! lol! And all of those beautiful green beads were an extra "OOOOH!!!" surprise! Thank you SO much for your kind generosity! Happy swapping! :)

Response: I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the Enchanted Pencils. This was a tough little swap challenge for me as it was a little out of my comfort zone. I think it's funny that your dog liked the little girl pencil. Animals are funny. Again, that you for the rating.

Comment: BEAUTIFUL!!! You really made a fabulous piece of artwork! It reminds me of autumn in Minnesota, thank you- my favorite season in my home state! I really love the pressed leaves and flowers, it is really ALL VERY LOVELY AND DONE WITH SUCH CARE, not to mention the lovely hymn pages and great maps!!! Thank you!

Response: Yeah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the altered Tin. I had a blast creating this especially for you. I thought you would get a "kick" out of the leaves and flowers from your Home State of Minnesota. I'm glad you enjoyed the goodies as well. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: i love all the things you sent and I know the grandbabies will also. thanks so much for the peace items also

Response: Wow! You already received the package. Sweet. I hope the grandchildren enjoy the goodies. After I taped the box up I realized I forgot to add the fancy bar of soap for you. I'll send later this week. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Thank you so much for a wonderful package....the presentation was wonderful and thank you for my favorite color and the very wonderful gems...

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my Fancy Stick Pins. These were fun to make. I also love creating the "presentation" just as much as the swap itself. I hope to create more of these in the future. Thanks for being my partner and thanks for the rating.

Comment: Jan, The atc is gorgeous, my granddaughter who is visiting from Belgium loved it! Thought it was one of her favs. And the other goodies were so sweet, I loved the box you made and the pear stamp! The wrapping in pattern paper was perfect as i was needing some. The little box came on a day when I need it ;) thank you so much, you made my day!

Response: I'm so thrilled that you and your granddaughter liked my ATC. I love adding little embellishments and dangles from my ATC's. I love creating items that people enjoy and I love swapping with you. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Wowie gorgeous! You spoil me with your outrageous, over-the-top swap packages! I love the box, the extra goodies and of course the incredible frame! Thank you so much, Jan! It's been fun getting to know you. I can hardly wait till next time I'm in MN. Looks like it might be sooner than later :)

Response: Phew, I'm glad you liked my altered frame. I should have taken a before and after photo. You should have seen the before photo. This was a fun swap and I'm so glad I joined. For sure you have to let me know when you're in MN we HAVE to get together. Thanks for the rating,

Comment: Absolutely wonderful and your presentation is as cool as the pins! Shoes are one of my favorite subjects ;) Thanks loads! -Julia-

Response: OMG, these were fun to make. I need to make more so I can become better at them. I like the idea of using Tim Holtz alcohol inks or glitter on the top. I couldn't figure how you did it and now I know. I can't wait to swap with you in the near future. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: so pretty...i love the creativity of both of them...thanks so much!!

Response: I'm so glad you like these. These were fun to make and I'd like to try them again so I can be more creative. This actually was a hard thing for me to make as I had to think and think and I re-made and re-made them. Again, I'm glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Jan, what a great package! Oh yeah, ATC swap :) lol - I just love the ATC! It's going on my Art Board. The little bags and envelopes are so cool. Thanks so much. You spoil me!

Response: Sweet! I'm glad you like it. I'm finishing up my other swap to you and I hope you like that as well. This was a fun ATC to create especially because it involved "buttons" as I Love Buttons! I thought you could use the little bags and envelopes and alter them to your liking. You're a great partner to swap with and I enjoy your Blog. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Extraordinary package. Thank you so much! I love all the altered art & the eyelets are much appreciated. Your unique way of wrapping up the goodies in a sewing pattern was so novel. You package "wowed" me. =D

Response: Sweet! I hoped that you would like this package. I had a lot of fun creating these things and putting together the package for you. I love swap-bot.....thank you for the rating!

Comment: Oh my goodness! Where do I even start??! The atc was amazing and the rest of the goodies were fabulous! ( And bonus, they were wrapped in pattern paper, which I love to use for my paper fabric!!) You have *so* made my day! :) When I get packages like yours, (which is rare), I always wish I could give more than one heart! Thank you, thank you!! :)

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed your ATC and package. I love putting a smile on people's faces. This was a fun swap. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Fabulous package! Jan, I never would have thought to stamp lace ribbon. How awesome it looks! Now I won't want to use it :) I love everything and have already used some of the ATC backs. Thank you, Girly!

Response: Hey there girlie-girl. Thank you for the nice comments. I wasn't too thrilled with the ribbons so I'm going to experiment and send you another package. I'm glad you enjoyed the other items in the package and I thought you would get a kick out of heart locks. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Great 'white skinny'! Love it. Oops! That's what it says...love. Thanks for the atc cards and the glass blobs. More than I expected...so, thanks you twice over. A wonderful surprise. Susan

Response: Sweet. I'm so glad you like my White Skinny. For me, it was hard not to add any other color. I'm also glad you enjoyed the little extras. I feel it's more important to focus on the "swap" then to send extras but I LOVE to surprise my swap partners with little items they can use. Thanks so much for the rating.

Comment: OMG This is the most AWESOME package!! Thank you so VERY much :) Now I just have to figure out how to work this thing!

Response: Sweet! Now you'll be able to cut your ATC's to size and accurately. That is after you use all the ones I sent you. The paper cutter is pretty easy to use so you'll just need to practice with scratch paper to figure out the measuring. I'm glad you will be able to use it as I have 3 of them and I'm not sure why I have 3 of them....Anyways, you are a fun swapper. Let's do this again. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: Oh My! I had to go to the post office to pick this up today because the awesome round box wouldn't fit in my mailbox. What incredible treasures! Thank you so much. I love everything! Those little locks went into my pocket immediately. *runs off to look at it all again* ;-)

Response: I hope you didn't have to drive too far to the P.O. I didn't think about it not fitting in your mailbox. I thought you'd love the "round" container and you'd find a way to "alter" it. I have more of those locks so if you need any more just let me know. Your next swap is in the mail today. Thanks for being such a great swapper and an awesome on-line friend. Thank you for the rating.

Comment: an awesome box for the kids..i'm sure they will love it...jackson is dragging th blanket around and hugging the bee...i love everything...thanks so much

Response: I hope everyone liked their stuff. I may have accidentally given the same "cars" to Jacob in the last package. Also, I'm not sure if the socks were too small for your granddaughter. I also say the fabric and thought the 60ish looking would be great for your X-mas tree next year. I know you can make something good with it. Thanks for being a great swapper. It's fun to see your posts and photos on facebook. Thank you for the rating. Let's do this again.

Comment: Awesome! This supply will last me quite a while--I'm going to have a lot of fun with these. Thank you so much! I'll make good use of the watch parts too. Nice swapping with you! ^_^

Response: I thought you would get a kick out of how many I sent you. I still have tons left. Many, many years going to garage sales and estate sales picking up these games for cheap. I saw your Flickr site and noticed you use a lot of watch parts so I through in a misc. bag full of steampunk items. Glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for the rating and I look forward to swapping with you again.

Response: I didn't get to see it in person so I hope it's what you thought it was going to be. I'm should have had it shipped to me first and then I should have sent it off to you. I fell over when I received your package and I can't wait to use everything. Thanks for being a great swapper and thank you for the rating.

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card you made (I love the colour choices you have used) and all the extras you put in as well, the die cuts will definately come in handy :)

Response: I'm so glad you liked my card. That is my favorite stamp. I would have never in a million years picked out that stamp but I just love it now. So glad you'll be able to use the die cut pieces. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Jan, I just love the little altered bottle you sent! Thanks so much and the baggie of treasures is awesome! -Julia-

Response: You are so welcome. And BTW, I received a special Altered Bottle from you as well and I fell in LOVE with it. So sweet, simple and yet very elegant. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed your little goodies as well. I thought you would. You are one of my favorite swappers.....Keep up the great work. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: I LOVED IT ALL !!!
So did Leo ! The frog was a hit. Thank you soo much !

Response: I'm so glad you like my ATC. This was a fun Swap. The extra cardboard can be used for your ATC Backings too. I use it all the time and love it as it gives the ATC rigidity. Thanks so much for the rating.

Comment: I received two wonderful packages today and they were both from you! Thank you. I love your artwork and your stye.

Response: I'm glad you like your package for this swap. I'm getting to like making these Skinny's. I'm used to only making ATC's but these Skinny's give me a little more surface area to create. Thanks for the rating. It's been fun swapping with you.

Comment: Thanks for the amazing package! I liked your ATC, and the metal egg with gears in it was astonishing. You deserve three stars at least! Thank you so much!

Response: Yippy! I'm so glad you liked your package and the ATC. This was an interesting yet fun challenge. I had a lot of fun creating this one. I thought for sure you would enjoy the "gold egg" and the gears inside. It's right up your alley. Thank you so much for the rating.

The 4 ATCs are amazing (my favorites are Moving Day and Black Kiss in Paris) and I love that wax technique you use!

And WOW for the extra's all of the little bits and bobs are packaged so prettily I hate to have to open them. I will have to carefully take out the staples because I have to look at everything and add to my altered art box, after they have been thoroughly fondles and appreciated.

Thanks again, Jan! :)

Comment: Hello Jan,
Well, what a treat I got from you. I not only got 2 very interesting and different ATCs, but I also got and incredbile box of goodies . I really like the woman in gold and flowers as I see her being in sunglasses hidden in flowers. The second reminds me of the sun with eyes. I really like both of them and I will proudly add both to my "1 for All" Collection. Please know as well how much I appreciate the box of goodies you send and that it will be used to continue my creative endeavors. It was so generous of you and I will never forget it. I hope we get to meet again and share our creative endeavors with each other. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!!!!

Response: Thank you so much for the rating. This was a tough challenge for me as it was hard to use the "eye" image in a way that I really, really wanted to. I had to create a few ATC's before I felt good about sending the 2 you received. This swapping is so much fun and I truly appreciate good swappers such as yourself. Thanks again for the rating and I hope you get to enjoy all the "goodies". Thanks!

Comment: Thanks for the artwork, it is very creative and I love the vintage buttons. That was so nice of you!!

Response: I'm so glad that you enjoyed my artwork. I'm also glad that you love the vintage buttons. Lately, buttons have become my favorite and I'm on a "finding buttons extravaganza".....Thanks for the rating and I hope to swap with you in the future.

Comment: I love the box! How cute is that! You filled it with such fun goodies too! Thanks a ton for it all!!!! I have never decoupaged anything like that so when you have time, let me know what you did! I love how you used patterns! Fun fun fun!

Response: Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the box along with all the goodies inside. I hope you will be able to use all the items. I have a blast creating your box and gathering all the extras. Thanks for the rating and have fun swapping.......

Comment: Thank you for the Key ATC and all the wonderful extras. Super generous. So extra Hearts and a Hug.

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my Key ATC and all your little goodies. Keys are one of my most favorite things to collect (along with Buttons) so this was a fun ATC swap. Thanks for your kind words and rating.

Comment: HOLY COW!!!! lol... the ATC is beyond beautiful! you did an amazing job on the card alone... then the box the ATC came in is absolutely lovely, too... and i think saying you spoiled me with all the extras is putting it mildly, heehee! i can't say enough good things about the entire package... but just know, even if all i received had been this fantastic ATC, i'd want the ability to give you a dozen hearts! thank you, thank you, thank you! this really made my day! :-)

Response: Yeah!!!! I'm glad you like my Time ATC and the box. The box is actually an old Deck of Card Box dieline. I thought it was a perfect size for the ATC. I also enjoyed reading through you profile and choosing items I thought you would enjoy. Thanks so much for your nice comments and the rating. This was a fun swap.

Comment: The package got here safe and sound this afternoon. Thank you so much for all the great stuff. I like the rusted metal star on the card. Did you make it, or did it come that way?

Response: Phew!!! I'm so glad my package made it to you. Thank you for your kind words. The rusty metal heart came that way so I didn't have to do anything with it except glue it on. I'm glad you enjoyed the extras as well. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Beautiful cards! I love the danglies. Thanks for the Tinker Bell extras. It's always a pleasure to swap with you!

Response: Thank you for your kind words. I had so much fun creating these postage stamp ATC's (the danglies are kind of a fault for me -- I tend to use them too much -- but I just love them). Thanks for the rating.

Comment: This was such an awesome swap package. Thank you so much. I love everything in it. Your button flowers are great and all of the extras are amazing and so coordinated. Thanks again.

Response: SWEET!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your special package. I hope you will be able to use the button flowers in your own artwork. I'm also glad that you enjoyed the extras as well. It's so fun to create packages/swaps that fellow swappers enjoy. Thanks for the rating.

Response: Thank YOU for being such a great swapper as well. I had so much fun making these Tags. I used "ink" for the edges. I loved reading through your profile and finding things that you would enjoy. I knew you would LOVE the hotel/motel keys. Thanks so much for the rating.

Comment: OMG!!! First, the yarn was fantastic! I just love vintage colours and that orange will make a nice border to my blanket! Second, you sent me ATC blanks, which was so thoughtful of you it made me smile, but Third! OMG! Third was the most beautiful little teacup and saucer ever!! You truly went overboard and I am so thankful and appreciative! I feel like I didn't send you nearly enough for what you sent me! I absolutely love it!! WOW!! You really outdid yourself dearie! How sweet of you to send me a box full of cheerfulness when I have been feeling so low lately. How did you know I needed a pick-me-up? I can't thank you enough for your kindness. {{hugs}} blessings, Gypsy

Response: I'm thrilled to death that you enjoyed your package. I had extra room in the package so I thought I would fill it up with things you would enjoy. I kind of knew you were recently going through a tough time so I wanted to "spoil" you a little and let you know that you are appreciated. Hang it there as it does get better. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Jan, I don't know where to start! This has to be one of the most awesome swaps I have ever rec'd. You went above and beyond. I love love love everything. The mini tea set will go in my curio with my doll collection. The fabric, the beads, the sea shells, the napkins... OMG Thank you is hardly enough. You deserve a thousand hearts. The tea cup is perfect. I just cried and cried with happy tears. It came on a day that I really needed something to lift me up and this was it. Bless you so much!!!!! Swapbot Hugs

Response: Oh my goodness...........I'm so thrilled this swap touched you so much. I always have so much fun putting these swaps together and reading through profiles and picking items to match your personality. YEAH! I'm blessed to have so many items to give others. I spend a lot of time combing through the Goodwills, Salvation Armys, Estate and Garage Sales. There are so many items that are still NEW. That's when it's fun....to be able to give back to the swapping community. Again, I am thrilled to death that you enjoyed your package. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Thank you so much for the cards, you provided extras. Neat idea about the envies and inside of the cards. Thank you for the stamps and the die-cut pieces. The papers you used are so pretty. Thanks for ALL of what you sent. I can not wait to play. Enjoy! :)

Response: Phew! I'm glad you liked your cards and the extras. I love putting these swaps together. Glad you enjoyed them and thank you for the rating.

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the "Rose Themed" altered decoupaged treasure box. For the "Rose Theme" I used the petals of a dried rose. I also tried to fill the inside with items you could use. Thanks for the private swap and for the rating.

Comment: WOW!! What an AWESOME swap! I love the neat technique and colors on the, bottle!
Not too mention the bling! You went waaay above with all the extras! I love it all! You deserve more hearts! Thank you many many times over~~

I also am glad you enjoyed the little extras. I like to put a lot of thought into my swaps along with providing extras for you to enjoy. Thanks so much for the rating.

Comment: I wish I could award more than 5 and more than 1 star. Jan sent TWO CDs plus wonderful stuff to alter. Thank you so much

Response: Yippie Skippie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the altered CD's and the extra items to aid you in your altering adventures. I read and re-read your profile so I could find stuff you would enjoy to use for altering. I hope I achieved that. Isn't this swapping stuff FUN!!!! Thanks for the rating.

Thanks again.

Response: Thank you so much. I would have responded earlier but I just saw your rating now. You are a doll and thank you againg.

Comment: If I could give a thousand hearts, I would. You put together the most considerate package for me. Every little thing you included is perfect, from the beautiful butterfly stickers to the buttons to Spongebob! I love the way you wrapped everything, it was a blast opening each gift up. My package really made my day! Thank you for taking the time to make this swap so wonderful!

Response: Yeah!!!! I am thrilled you loved your package. I had so much fun reading through your profile and picking out things I thought you would enjoy. I'm glad I was able to make your day and to make your happy. Thanks for swapping and thanks for rating me with kindness.

Comment: It was 9 days late, but I really like it a lot.
I am glad that you brought up the past PM's to my attention. Swap dead lines are set for members to send by that date.
Not to PM 3 days after that said deadline to say it will be late. The deadline for this swap was Oct. 3.

Response: I'm responding to the above changed comment just so that the information is accurate. The deadline for this swap was Oct. 31 and not Oct. 3. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Thank you for the nice bottle cap. Thank you too for the wonderful envelope full of ephemera you sent. I can't wait to use it all!

Response: Thank you for commenting. I had fun making the Bottle Caps. I've made several more and you can see them on my Flickr account. I'm glad you will be able to use the ephemera. It's so fun. Thanks for the kind rating.

Comment: WOW, the domino magnets were beautiful :D Thank you so much for sending them and the I Love Lucy magnet and Atc, I love it all...Kerri :D

Response: Yippy Skippy........I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I thought you would get a kick out of the I Love Lucy Magnet and ATC. The ATC is one of my favorites. Thanks for swapping. I appreciate the rating along with the Little Red Heart. Thanks and Happy Swapping.

Comment: Great - I loved the purse and all the goodies. Thanks so much,
meme

Response: Meme, thanks for the comments, rating and little red heart. The "purse" is made out of wood (a very thin layer). I think it was used as a promotional piece for something and I "altered" it as Iove to do with things. I hope you were able to enjoy all the goodies as I tried to pack it as full as I could. Even when it was completed, I still was stuffing stuff into it. Thanks again for the rating.

Comment: Wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful package- The kids loved that they each received something to- They said to Thank you- that was very sweet. I Love all my stuff. 100 Hearts for you!

Response: YEAH!!! I'm thrilled that your children loved their little packages. I am as well thrilled that you love yours as well. I hope you haven't read that book yet and I hope the tea cup and saucer is the kind that you collect. Thanks so much for the rating and as I like to call it the "little red heart".

Comment: Wow! The heart ATC is beautiful, and all those DMC cottons - thank you so much!

Response: Thank you. I hope the DMC threads were what you were referring to in your profile. You had mentioned that you wanted them and that they were expensive in your country so I thought I would send you some. I still have lots more. Let me know if those are the correct types of thread. I had so much fun making your Heart ATC. What great inspiration this swap-bot is. Thanks for rating and as always, thanks for the cute little "Red Heart".

Comment: Jan, I received your extra special Fill Up My Mailbox swap yesterday. I loved your handmade envelope - I have that same paper! I definitely loved what you chose for me - - thank you for making my day! ~ Beth

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your envelope full of goodies. Wasn't this fun. Thanks for the rating and the heart.

Comment: Thank you for the great supply of stuff!! My kids loved the critters with the google eyes! I loved the bag of google eyes and how you packed the mixes of stuff in the little bags. Thank you again.

Comment: WOW WOW WOW----Really wish there was a way to give a ton of extra hearts!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!! :-)

Response: Yes!!!! I made another swapper happy!!! I had so much making all of those envelopes and cards. I obviously had a color theme going. Thanks for being such a great swapper as well. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Delightful! The tin was beautifully decorate & the inside was stuffed to the brim.Thank you!! My inner magpie is quite taken with the shiny bits and baubles.

Response: I am so delighted that you enjoyed your Altered Altoid Tin I made for you. I read through you profile and packed it as tight as I could with things you could use. Thanks for the great rating.

Response: Thank you for your kind words. I was going to send you more extras but your profile doesn't have a lot of ideas in the crafts area so I wasn't sure what you enjoy. Thanks so much for the rating.

Response: I hope you were a winner. Thanks for the rating. I wanted to send you more extras but I wasn't sure what to send because your profile doesn't have a lot of information in the area of "Arts/Crafts". Thanks!

Comment: HI
Thank you for the tea bags and the tinkerbelle sticker. Adorable! Wanted to let you know the envelope was torn open when it arrived, perhaps a bit extra tape on it would alleviate this next time.hate to lose a losing scratch ticket
SMILES

Response: Thanks for letting me know about the envelope being torn open. Next time I will use extra tape. The mail lady told me that it wouldn't go through the electronic mail sorter because of it's thickness (she even put special postage on it so it wouldn't go through). Anyways, from here on out I will use additional tape. Thanks for the rating and I am glad you like your tea bags and fairy stickers.

Comment: Thanks so much i loved the patrick keychain and great job on the magnets i love them !

Response: I read your profile and knew you liked Patrick so I was hoping the key chain I sent was Patrick. Thank goodness it was. I wasn't 100% sure. I hope you can use the magnets as they were in the beginning of my magnet making. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: WOW! What an amazing and wonderful package full of delight! I wish I could give you more than one heart for this fantastic parcel ... thank you so much for putting so much effort into it. I love all of it, but I'm especially excited about the altered puzzle pieces and tags. You sent me craft materials AND inspiration, which is the best gift of all!
My apologies for the delayed rating; I've been travelling for the past couple of months and am just catching up now. THANK YOU for making me such a terrific welcome-home package!

Response: You are so welcome. I had fun reading your profile and picking items that you would enjoy. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Thank you so much for my purple pot of treasures. I love it all and the vanilla tea that I discovered in the bottom made it all smell lovely! The vanilla chai is my one of my favourite teas. My seven year old was particularly impressed with the bees! Thanks for a great swap! :D

Response: I am so glad that you enjoyed your little purple container of "Little Things". I read your profile and tried to send things that I thought you would enjoy. Thanks!

Comment: WOW! Not only were the BottleCap Magnets lovely...but you really spoiled me as well! The extras were very much appreciated! If I could give you more hearts I would! Thank you so very much!

Response: Yeah!!! I am so glad you liked your Bottle Cap Magnets. I really enjoyed making them for you. I'm also glad you enjoyed your extras as I tried to pick out things you would enjoy. Thanks again for your rating and giving me the heart.

Response: Thank you for your kind words and rating. I need to re-send you a package with some extra goodies because I didn't have time to include them in this package. I will look over your profile and pick some fun stuff. Thanks again.

Comment: Thank you so much for the amazing package of vintage ephemera!! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, and there's some beautiful things there. It was an extra surprise to find the stamps too because i did not realise they were there when i opened it, so thank you!!

Response: Thank you for your comments. I read your profile closely and I hope I picked out some of your favorite items. Thanks for the rating and have fun swapping as this is a blast. Thanks again.

Comment: You cannot imagine my delight when I receive your package. First let me say, I am proud to add you ATC to my collection. It is very special. All of the nice extras you sent will be so helpful in my crafting. I have never receive such a a special package. I wish I could give you more than a 5 and a heart.

Response: I am thrilled that you enjoyed your Jewelry ATC. I love making ATC's for other people and this one was especially fun. I'm glad you appreciate it enough to keep it in your collection. I also enjoy reading other's profiles and creating little packages of goodies. I hope you will be able to use them in some of your other swaps. Thanks again.

Comment: HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you soooo much! It is sooooooo beautiful! Thank you for the suprises!!! I was so excited to receive!
Tracy

Response: Yeah! I am so glad you liked your package. I had so much fun making it. I usually take photos but I forgot to take a photo of this one. Darn. Again, I am glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind rating. Jan Freeman

Comment: Thankyou Jan for such a lovely box which I will certainly keep and use, also thank you for so many extras inside, I collected the parcel from the Post Office today and took it to work to open, the box was passed around and much admired by everyone. You deserve the heart and many more if I were able to give them, happy swapping and until we swap again thank you once more.. Hugs, Barbara xx

Response: Thank you for your kind words and the rating. I had so much fun creating this for you. I also had a blast collecting the little goodies inside for you. I read that you have doll houses so I tried to find items for your collection. If I find more I will send them your way. Thanks so much. Jan Freeman (golferinmn@comcast.net).

Comment: you communicated with me that you would be late, and you are very late, but what a beautiful set of ATC's have you send!
If you had send on time I would have given you a heart :-) Thank you very much, it was worth the waiting.

Response: Thank you for the rating. I have been so behind schedule on everything due to working way too much and my big move. Thanks again. Jan Freeman (golferinmn@comcast.net).

Comment: Really beautiful work and some thoughtful bits and pieces. Thank you

Response: I am so glad you liked them. Thanks for the nice rating. I think I am going to send you some extra goodies since my swaps have been late. Look in the mail within the next couple of weeks for your "goody package". Jan Freeman

Comment: WOW! Fantastic inchies! And I love your creative packaging too! Thank you soooo much for an awesome swap! :) Love it Love it Love it!

Response: I am so glad you like them. I love making these ATC's and inchies. Although, it was extremely difficult to be creative on such a small surface. It took me a long time to think of something creative to do. Again, I'm glad you enjoyed them. Jan Freeman

Response: Thank you. I am really glad you enjoyed my ATC's and the extra goodies. I love adding the extras as I try to read profiles and send items you would like and items that would be fun to try. Thanks again. Jan Freeman (golferinmn@comcast.net).

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful ATC!! I'm so sorry about having to give you a 3, but it was very late....

Response: Thank you for the rating. I was in the middle of a huge move and it way took longer than what I anticipated. Then I had to set up my art room and that totally thew me off schedule. That;s why it is so late. Although, I do appreciate that you rated me. Thanks again.

Response: Thank you for the rating. Sorry it was so late as making a huge move caused a lot of delays in my swaps. Packing up a household of 10 years is not an easy task. Thanks again and I glad you enjoyed the ATC. Jan Freeman

Comment: Received these exactly a month after they were suppose to be mailed. They were mailed 2 days ago. I received no contact from this swapper regarding lateness, so I feel I must rate a 3 although she did an excellent job on them and I can use the extras. ***After reading your feedback, I am changing your rating to a 5, because email can be so unpredictable-even though I looked for it.

Response: Thank you for the rating. I was in the middle of moving from one house to another and they were accidentally packed away. Sorry. I did contact you but maybe the email did not go through. Sorry for the confusion. Jan Freeman (golferinmn@comcast.net)

Comment: these envelopes are very pretty and i see you put alot of work into them... they are beautiful. however, you marked that you sent these on june 16th, 2008 and the postmark shows that they were mailed on july 19th, 2008.. the deadline to mail these out was june 30th, 2008.. i sent you messages through swap-bot checking up on these and you never communicated with me, not once... i was worried about them...im just glad they finally arrived.. thank you.

Response: Thank you for the rating and I am sorry for the delay. I was so busy with work and in the process of preparing to move. Sorry again, but I am glad you liked them. Jan Freeman

Comment: WOWIE!! Jan!! What a wonderful swap package you sent!!! These ATCs are VERY WELL DONE!! So sturdy and unique! What is that neat pink paint-ish stuff you used on the love one? I am so happy to have more of your work in my collection! Also, thanks so much for all the great alterable extras you sent! They will find a good home here;) Thanks for making my day! â™¥

Response: Thank you! The pink paint-ish stuff is acrylic paint. This was fun to make and I am so glad that you enjoyed them. Isn't this swapping a blast!!??!! Thanks! Jan Freeman

Comment: OMG THEY ARE FREAKIN GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful swap. The matchbox and mini Atcs are WONDERFUL, I hope you don't mind that I turned the ATCs into magnets so I could display them on my fridge!!! I love them! Thank you!

Response: Thank you. I also joined another swap for Mini ATC's and I saw that you had made a comment that you wanted to turn your Mini ATC's into magnets. So, I turned mine into magnets from your idea on this other swap. I wish I would have read your comment earlier so I could have turned these into magnets for you. I'm glad you did. Thanks again and this swapping is so much fun. Jan Freeman

Response: Thank you. This was a hard swap for me to do as I have never worked with chairs before. It was a little difficult coming up with an idea. I'm glad you enjoyed them. I always try to add dimension when I can. Jan Freeman

Comment: These were amazing cards thanks so much for all the extras I loved it!!!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the ATC's. This has been an amazing swap website because I have never really had to create art with a theme. Sometimes the idea comes quickly and sometimes I really have to work at it. This one took a while and a few trial ATC's before I felt it was good to send. Thanks again. Jan Freeman

Comment: You deserve way more hearts than just one for this swap. I just returned from vacation and what a surprise that awaited me. I loved it all. The matchbox is really cute and all the goodies, my goodness. I can't thank you enough you are a great swap partner and I hope to meet up with you again. Thanks a bunch, Mary

Response: You are way too kind. This was one of my favorite swaps. I thought for sure it was going to be difficult to create these because they are so small. I surprised myself when the ideas just kept coming. I'm so glad you enjoyed them. Someone mentioned that she liked to turn these Mini ATC's into magnets. I should have done that for you. I did on my last Mini ATC swap. Thanks again you are a doll. Jan Freeman

Comment: WOW! What a wonderful swap!!!!!!!!!!!
I love what you did with the puzzle piece. The goodie bag will come in very handy. I've already used one element. Thank you

Response: I'm glad you like it. It's kind of a "simple" piece but I loved adding the watch parts inside the watch dial. I am a fanatic when it comes to adding dimension to my ATC's. I am also glad you liked the extras and where able to use one already. Thanks! Jan Freeman

Comment: the atc's were beautful, I loved them
thanks for the extras too.

Response: Thank you. I really enjoyed creating these ATC's as this is my favorite type of art (old and vintage). Although I have been reaching to the primary color side of the palatte and have begun to be creative with those colors. Again, thank you. Jan Freeman

Comment: when i first opened this, and ALL THOSE AMAZING EXTRAS just kept coming out -I was like-what swap is this for!?!?!?! then your AMAZING atcs came out and I was awestruck! These atcs are really beautiful- I love the way you made the one ready to hang. It's in my office, so I can look at it during a hectic day and just get away for a minute! Those nuns CRACKED ME UP! that is hilarious!! and...those tiny puppy cards are cute enough to munch on! thanks so much...hopefully I can send to you soon!

Response: Thank you. I thought the Nuns were so funny that I had to send it as an extra. I'm glad you enjoyed the "goodies". I enjoy picking out the "goodies" just as much as the ATC's. This is so fun. Thanks again. Jan Freemn

Comment: Thanks your for two beautiful ATC's they are really inspiring. The extra goodies are great to and such lovely packaging as well.

Response: You are so welcome. I am glad you were inspired by my ATC's. I love creating these for the sake of others. I'm also glad you enjoyed the extra goodies. I had a relaxing time creating these for you. Thanks again. Jan Freeman (jfreeman).

Response: Thanks. I know you enjoyed the extras and I also hope you enjoyed the Eiffel Tower ATC's. I love receiving hearts for the extras and I also just love receiving hearts for the ATC's I create. Enjoy.
Jan

Response: Thank you. I had to think a lot about these ATC's. I even had to through some away as I wasn't impressed with what I originally created. Sometimes it's a little tougher to create something when it's a theme outside of your creative zone. I made it through it though. Thanks again. Jan

Comment: Sorry it took me so long to rate! I loved your matchboxes! They are some of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen and are displayed around my desk! I love them!

Response: Thank you! This was my first attempt at these tiny match boxes and I had a great time in creating them. Thanks for your kind words and I am pleased that you are displaying them around your desk. Jan

Comment: WOW!!! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! You truly are an artist, really. And thank you so much for the extra goodies too! I will deffinately put them to good use--maybe even today while working on more APCs/ATCs!! blessings, Gypsy

Response: Thank you. I wish I could remember which ones I sent you. I love to see the reactions of others when I send my artwork. I need to be a little too harsh on myself when it comes to my own artwork so it great to receive responses as yours. Thanks again. Jan

Comment: I really enjoyed recieving your card, I like your use of the white flowers, and your card smelled so good!The paper and tan thread was a nice extra.bravo!

Response: Thank you. It took me a long time and several tries at this ATC swap. I usually stick with just paper ATC's and I thought I would try my hand at a "fabric" ATC. Again, thanks for enjoying my "art". I am totally "hooked" on this swapping thing...

Comment: I cannot thank you enough for the breath-taking ATC I received from you. It is a work of art and I know you took hours to make it. Thank you so much and if I could give you more than one heart I would. I will always treasure this.

Response: WOW! Thank you so much for your kind words. I had fun creating this ATC and I hope to sign up for more Swaps. It truly has been a pleasure trading with other talented artists. Thanks again. Jan
